Come on a Miata? I think the car is a cute little sports like car and would not mind having one as a 2nd car in the garage ut to name it and performance in the same breath is a stretch. I don't want to insult you or your chosen ride but I have a 1974 JH in my garage that I am restoring and the stock specs of this car in 1974 out perform a Miata in everything but breaking power since they did not have discs back then
